The management of Fidelity Bank PLC has generously distributed food packs to women, widows, children, and the vulnerable in Keffi, Nasarawa State.
Addressing newsmen yesterday in Keffi, Nasarawa state during the Fidelity Food Drive in partnership with ABBASID Charity Foundation and Sen. Ahmed Wadada Aliyu (Sarkin Yankin Keffi), Victoria Abuka, the leader of Fidelity Bank’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) team, emphasised the impactful Fidelity Food Bank initiative.
Designed to combat the pressing food security challenges facing Nigeria, the initiative focuses on distributing food packs to communities in need.
Abuka stated that since its inception in April 2003, the program has made significant strides, with over 100,000 food packs distributed nationwide. She stressed that these distributions have reached families in more than 100 communities every month, providing vital sustenance where it’s needed most.
She further emphasised that collaborating with 19 partners, Fidelity Bank strategically identifies communities requiring assistance and delivers food packs tailored to support families of five.
Abuka said the initiative has garnered widespread support from local authorities, underscoring its crucial role in addressing hunger across the country.
Victoria stressed the pivotal role of such initiatives, particularly in times of heightened food insecurity. She also commended the concerted efforts of both federal and state governments in tackling this critical issue.
